Hello Ashutosh

GATE does not have any age or attempt limit. You can apply as many times as you want at any age.

Although jobs provided by Psu's have minimum age limit, so check for it and also some defense research institute like DIAT Pune have some age criteria,but maximum institute including IITs and NITs allow candidates of any age.

Best of luck
